Part of it is a function of who Vegas thinks can actually beat LSU. Just making up numbers, but let's say that a team has 2x the chance that you do to make the big game, but you have a 10x better chance to beat LSU once you get there, your "odds of winning it all" will be higher.


So in short. It makes no F**king sense at all.

Nobody said that Bama was a bad Team. Is just going to be hard to convince voter to have a rematch

It's based on a $100 bet. A negative number means you bet that much to get $100. Apositive number means you bet $100 and that's your payout. Our payout sucks dog nuts. I'd rather bet the remaining 4 LSU games straight up, which I wouldn't do either.


I thought it meant if you bet $300 on LSU at(-150) you win $150 if they won?

If you bet $300 on LSU and we win it all, I means you get your $300 back plus win $200 so you get $500 - fees for a $300 LSU bet.

I got LSU at 12-1 in the futures before the year started. I also got them at 4-1 to win the SEC CG. And while I was there I bet the Saints to win Super Bowl at 11-1.

Did you bet more than $10?

So you're saying there's a chance?

I hate to say it but ok state is the best bet with those odds. They will beat ou. They are a well balanced team this year. Capable of beating any team.
